7 Aug 2013: After Liverpool reject an offer from Arsenal of £40,000,001 for Suárez, with a clause in his contract the subject of scrutiny, Suárez tells the Guardian he is prepared to submit a written transfer request if Liverpool continue to block his move to Arsenal

Aside from missing out on the title, 2013-14 was a tremendous season for Suárez. He was the Premier League top scorer with 31 goals (the first Liverpool player to score 30 league goals since Ian Rush in 1986-87), named Football Writers' Player of the Year, Premier League Player of the Season and he became the first non-European player to win the PFA Player Of The Year award

11 July 2014 Barcelona confirm that they have reached an agreement with Liverpool on the transfer of Suarez for £75m. The Spanish club said 'The Uruguayan will be travelling to Barcelona next week for a medical, to sign his five-year contract and to be officially presented to the media and fans as an FC Barcelona player'
